2012 Map of Weed Valley

About this map

Weed Valley and the surrounding high basins of Lake County are defined by a complex network of seasonal water management and grazing lands in this 2012 survey. The landscape is dotted with vital water sources such as Wild Horse Reservoir and Picnic Grove Reservoir, which supported the livestock operations at Weed Valley Ranch. These features, along with names like Coyote Meadow and Buchanan Flat, reflect a legacy of ranching in a region where water is the primary driver of settlement patterns. Kellogg Mountain rises as a central landmark, flanked by the drainage systems of Wild Horse Cr and N Fork Willow Cr. The map details an extensive system of forest roads, including Kellogg Rd, that link remote meadows like Jims Flat to the larger watershed at Janes Reservoir.
